I drag raced (1/8 mile) the new KTM 525 at Tri County over the weekend and lost by 2 feet! I know i would have gotten him if we raced again. Some guys i know had test rode it and said it was crazy fast, and crazy power. I couldn't tell. :devil:

I'm sure your just a better rider, and 90% of the time, that makes all the difference.

What if the KTM rider thinks he would have gotten you by four feet if yall raced again? You dont know the outcome of a race that has not happened yet.

I've been riding since Feb. or Mar. of this year. How good could i be compared to him ?

And i was in 3rd pinned (rev limiter), i was scarred to lose milli-seconds shifting, i think now i should have hit 4th.
